For about the last nine months I’ve been unable to taste or smell things. I was told that this can be dangerous when you can’t even smell smoke. I’ve been to four specialists. One Doctor thinks that there might be some hope for me but it could take a long time to regain these senses.

As inconvenient as this may seem to be, I’d hate to be without some of my other senses. But I can tell you this, I’ve tasted and seen that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8). I’m eternally grateful that, having trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, I will not and cannot be condemned by God and sent to hell (Romans 8:1). It’s all based on God’s grace [undeserved favor] and faith (Ephesians 2:8, 9). Both of these are gifts from God. There is nothing I can do to earn God’s favor.

Jesus Christ took my place and died for all my sins (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4). I know that God the Father was satisfied with the payment that Christ made on my behalf because He raised Him bodily from the dead on the third day (Romans 4:25).
